EAT Play and Play More!

Eating is what we do best here in the South! Well and we play 🙂

Yesterday we got into Memphis at 2:30pm and were starved!! I was running off less then 3 hours of sleep and needed FUEL! So our first stop was Backyard Burger! Hubby’s favorite food joint in Memphis.

He finally got his appetite back!

After lunch Hub’s and I hit up the local outdoor mall for a little last minute Christmas shopping for the Tennessee family 🙂

Hubby and I split the Chicken Parmesan. We are going to try and split a lot of things while we are on vacation for two reasons. One being the cost, and two being the CALORIES! Even though I would normally choose a healthier option 🙂

On our way home we drove around looking at Christmas lights. When we turned on to one of the streets we were amazed at the lighted bags lined up on the streets. There must have been thousands upon thousands!!!

I crashed for almost 9 hours of sleep last night!! This morning I did a 4 mile tempo run in 33 minutes!! I still got it 😉 My MIL has a great trail right by her house. Gotta love the view in Tennessee 🙂

I also did 20 minutes of Jillian’s Yoga DVD. Breakfast was coffee and toast…something simple. I am recovering from this weekends eats 😉

This afternoon I met up with my college roommate Jess for lunch at McAlister’s Deli and guess what, she’s PREGNANT!!! What is in the water these days?!!!! I am sad I didn’t get a picture of us together, we were too busy catching up on life! Here is a picture from college, we look the same ;) 

I ordered the Wheat berry Chicken Sandwich & the Chicken Tortilla Soup an old favorite.

Who knows what the rest of the day will hold, that’s the best part about vacation!

P.S. Anyone in the Memphis area want to meet up for a run tomorrow morning????? I am trying to run everyday that I am here!
